Hippocampus Enamel Pin [ Seafoam Rider ]
$30
$30
Unlike, the Kelpie or Water Horse, the Hippocampus was a benevolent creature. Closely linked to Poseidon, the god of the sea, it often appeared in classical art pulling his chariot through the waves and helping humans to cross dangerous waters. Its dignified form was also used to decorate elaborate pottery and tombs, suggesting an association with the afterlife—perhaps being symbols of the desire for a safe journey, both in life and beyond.
